EVANSVILLE, Oct. 22-An organized effort.
headed by several of the most prominent and
wealthy men of this city, has been inaugurate d
for the suppression of all violations Of the whisky
laws in this city The effort is undertaken by
these gentlemen especially for the enforcement
of Sunday closing. and the prohibition of the
sale of intoxicating liquors from ii P. NJ. to A.
NJ. The State and municipal laws provide for
this, but they have been persistently diregarded
and the officials have been too timid to enforce
them consequently an address has been pre-
pared and prose- nted to the police commission
ers this evening. they having called a special
session to hear the memorial of the protesting
citizens. The address sets forth that
the law has been confided to
the keeping of the police commissioners tho
conservators of the pence, and that their con-
tinual disregard of it's provisions was violation
of their oath of office; they therefore urged
to enforce the law 1t is found to exist. and if
tho sentiment of the community does not APP
prove it, the only recourse is through its repeal.
The commissioners listened to the argument Of
the petitioners, but reserved decision to
what course they will take. It is generally
stated, however, that these officials feel we'll
fortified by public sentiment that they will not
interfere with existing conditions. The popula-
ton of the city is largely German, and a as
rule they have generally antagonized the
Sunday closing law arbitrary and tyrannical,

recreation and amusement. Two of the COM
missioners are prominent Germans, and the
saloon-keepers feel confident they will not be

the law enforced have declared their intention

Temperance Teachings in Pub.
lie Shoots.

At the meeting of the Press Association at
Lake Charles q resolution was unanimously
adopted recommending the press troughOut
the State to advocate the teaching of scientl-
ic temperance in the public schools. As the
resolution was passed just after the address
of lady it was feared by the friends of the
measure that it might be alleged that action
was taken out of courtesy and without serious
reflection on the part of many who voted for
it.
At q subsequent session to test the ques-
ton, the matter was reconsidered, and after
full and free discussion the resolution was
again passed without o dissenting voice. 1t
was found that whatever might be the views
of the journalists present on prohibition, there
was not one who was not in favor of teaching
the rising generation the evils resulting from
the abuse of intoxicating beverages.
The teaching recommended is physiological
instruction, showing the effects of alcohol on
mind and body. This movement should Meet
with the approval of all citizens, whether OF
the anti prohibition or prohibition faction, for
even the most degraded drunkard would like
TO have his children taught the Importance OF
leading sober, temperate lives.
To educate the popular sentiment in regard
to alcoholic stimulants is o much wiser and
surer way to restrain the consumption of IL
auor with its attendent evils than sumptuary
laws however rigid. Probably it would be i'm
possible for men with fixed habits and appe'

degradation and suffering.
It is expected that the uses as we'll as the
abuses OF alcohol will,be taught, but when the
Psychologist gets down to scientific facts it il
not likely that he will have much to say in
favor of its uses, except perhaps as to medi

Under such state of affairs the wife is en-
titled not only to her mOnied Judgment
against her said husband, because OF his fnaD-
cial embarrassment jeopardizing her psrapher-
nal rights, but also to separation OF property,
dissolving the community of acauests and
gains that exists between them, and declaring
her separate in property from her said hus-
band.
For these reasons, aud because of the law
and the evidence, which is in favor OF plain
tiff, it is ordered, adjudged and decreed that
she do have judgement in her favor aad
against her husband, the defendant, in the sum
of two hundred and fifty dollars, with 5oIo
per annum interest from Jan. %, 1887, until
paid it is further ordered, adjudged and de-
creed that the community of aequests and
gains heretofore existing between them be,
and the same is hereby dissolved, aud that
henceforth plaintiff be separated in property
from her said husband. It is further ordered,
adjudged and decreed that defendant pay all
the costs of this suit.
